If You Give A Dad A Podcast
If You Give A Dad A Podcast is hosted by Jared — aka Papa Podcast — a proud Millennial Dad who grew up geeking out and never stopped.
What started as a dad talking about the things he loved has evolved into a show that explores the stuff that raised us and the new things that keep us young. From nostalgic fandoms and pop culture to modern geek culture and creative discoveries, the show celebrates the lifelong joy of being a geek — now through the lens of fatherhood.
Each episode features conversations with actors, wrestlers, creators, and storytellers, along with clips, short-form content, and discussion topics that reflect the interests of millennial geeks navigating dad life.
Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the new obsessions, or the honest conversations, If You Give A Dad A Podcast is a place for dads (and geeks) who never outgrew the things they love.
